I keep an eye out for older jotuls as they are great small stoves, definitely not house heaters but they light off quick are very efficient for the era and great for a room heater or small camp. Unfortunately they have always tended to be on the high price side. There are a few "orphan" models that were only imported for a short time and a 606 is one of them. It has the firebox of a 602 but higher output. If run properly they are great but this stove has the reputation of not liking being filled with wood and turned down for an overnight. Its a recipe for creosote.
I was checking Craigslist and saw a link to one (broken link removed to http://newlondon.craigslist.org/grd/4880795072.html). Looks like its all there but obviously it was stored poorly. I expect a light sandblast would bring it back as it just appears to be light surface rust. There was one for sale recently for sale for $1,600 in Maine (without the rust). The unit shares a some parts with a 602 including the inner side plates so it should be able to run as is. The going rate when they come to market is in the $800 to 1200 range, but they don't come up that often.
Since I have one I cant justify the drive.
